Bush dueling Saddam. Who else likes this idea?

[NightFlier]

The Iraqi Vice-President suggested today that Bush and Saddam have a pistol duel instead of going to war. Two men, two guns, two bullets. Call me crazy, but that makes a whole lot more sense than having hundreds of thousands of soldiers using billions of dollars worth of weapons in an attempt to slaughter each other on behalf of two men. Wouldn't it be nice if the so-called leaders in this world would just have duels instead of starting wars? Then we would just have a small number of politicians killed every year, instead of the millions that die as a result of wars every year.

Saw it on CNN and also liked the idea.

fuck pistols.

let's see some sword play!

not a Japanese duel, though. over too fast (usually in the first simultanious exchange). maybe some rapiers. get a little fencing action going on.

They should use swords traditional to their respective regons.

A civil war style sabre for bush and a Scimitar for Saddam.

Or maybe a good old fashioned knife fight.

 

[LordOfDarkness]

Of course Saddam would win. He is older, more mature and stronger. Besides, he is the more handsome of the two.

 

[scylis]

first off, a "good, old fasioned knife fight" would not be the "cultured," "genteel" thing the duelists would want. it involves a lot of grappling and wrasslin' with the addition of a knife.

second off, i still say go with rapiers. the saber and scimitar are mainly slashing weapons, so they at least have a better bet at being somewhat knowledgable at using them. rapiers and fencing, on the other hand, are always thought of as being stylish and eligant. think Princess Bride, Zorro and the Three Muskateers. i just think watching the two of them baffooning their way thru that would be too damn funny to pass up!

Funny yes but probaly not enough blood and the chances for dismemberment are just too low for me.

hammer fight?

 

[LordOfDarkness]

Hmmmm...

Boxing?

 

[NightFlier]

Chainsaw fight? It would be nice and bloody.

Weapons of mass destruction. Nukes at 20 paces.

 

[NightFlier]

Nukes are kind of messy. Plus we would have to provide Saddam with one. And keeping him away from nukes is the whole point of Georges' war. Officially. I think his primary motivation is erasing the big black mark Saddam has left on daddy Bushs' reputation. The nice thing about a duel is limiting the destruction and death to the two antagonists. And we could put it on pay-per-view and put the proceeds towards paying off the 742 billion dollars of national debt that have run up since the Bush regime took power.

 

[christophe]

could be a pay per view event

 

[milkman4300]

FUCK YEA!!!!! And I am sure Bush has an outfit for just such a thing

 

[milkman4300]

Hey, how about Ice Picks?

 

[Lostsoul8626]

I like the chainsaw fight idea.

 

[NightFlier]

Ooohh, they could have a joust. Suits of armor, horses, lances, etc..

 

[LordOfDarkness]

Man to man, Bush is definite to lose. I think Saddam wouldn't mind having one of his hands tied behind his back.

 

[TWB]

Excellent idea.


(actually, I don't like it, but if it was a choice between our current policy towards Iraq and the duel, the duel I would take).

Have you ever seen a video of Saddam firing a gun? Any gun toting five year old in Texas could probably out shoot him.

Bush dueling

Are you taking a Poll?
I say yeah to that

Canada

 

[Susano]

I shall, as I did even before the Iraqi vice president did, cast my vote in favor of either AT-4s or flamethrowers, in a cage match.

Traditionally, the challenged party has the choice of weapons -- I think GWB should accept and choose F-16's at 20,000 feet. Or even just choose "fighter jets" and let Saddam take his pick from the wreckage of his air force and let GWB pick from ours.
